It was a very good start for
Netherlands at the beginning of this qualification, but after eight rounds in which they won 05 matches and lost 03, Netherlands needs an incredible victory over
the Sweden of seven goals given their much worse goal-difference. On the
other hand, leading Franch team has already unreachable four points more,
and they also inflicted to the Dutch two out of three so far suffered
defeats.
The third one took place in Bulgaria, which was the key mishap in the Dutch misery. The team played a bit better in the last two games and defeated by 3-1 the Bulgarians at home and Belarus away three days ago. Right because of that, the Dutch stress that will give their best in order to defeat Sweden, regardless that their potential success will be most likely a Pyrrhic victory in the end. As a result, coac,h Advocaat, should send on the pitch almost the same team as he did against the Belarusians.
Unlike Netherlands, whixh has only a theoretical chance to reach the 2018 World Cup, Sweden had made probably the key step for retaining the 2nd place, when they defeated Luxembourg by 8-0. The second place will take the Swedes to the play-off although they still have chance to directly qualify for the World Cup in Russia as they have just one point fewer than leading France. Nevertheless, it is hard to expect that the Dutch will slip in the last round when they face already written-off Belarus at home, while on the other hand the Swedes have this difficult away match with Netherlands.
Despite that, as long as there is even a most miniscule hope, coach Andersson players will give their maximum in attempt to win all 03 points in Amsterdam, while they anyway cannot affect outcome of the match in Paris. Sweden right back player, Lustig, got injured in the match with Luxembourg and this time that position will be covered by player, young Krafth, while the rest of starting line-up should stay the same like three days ago in Stockholm.
Probable lineups:
Netherlands: Cillessen – Janmaat, van Dijk, Hoedt, Blind – Vilhena, Wijnaldum – Robben, Propper, Babel – Janssen
Sweden: Olsen – Krafth, Lindelof, Granqvist, Augustinsson – Claesson, Larsson, Johansson, Forsberg – Berg, Toivonen
